An Archimedean ordered integral domain is an ordered integral domain that satisfies the Archimedean property.
Every Archimedean ordered integral domain extension of the integers is a dense linear order.
Since is Archimedean, it does not have either infinite or infinitesimal elements, which means there exists an integer and natural number such that and . implies and for all and in . Let . Since there exists an element such that for all and , is a dense linear order.
This means that the Dedekind completion of every Archimedean ordered integral domain extension of the integers is the integral domain of real numbers.
